When Do You Need Furnace Service/Repairs?
Furnaces should perform and operate smoothly for a better part of their 10-15 year life span. However, there are certain things that can go wrong with your heating system, causing you to find an HVAC company for repairs.
Furnace is not producing ANY heat
This is a common occurrence, usually at the beginning of heating season. It can be prevented with a seasonal tune-up. However, if you are not getting any heat from your furnace check your thermostat. Make sure it is set to the HEAT setting and is set to the correct desired temperature. If you feel the thermostat is set properly your issue may be as simple as a tripped circuit breaker, pilot light could be out, or a blown fuse. Give us a call and we can get it fixed quickly at a convenient time for you.
Furnace is not providing ENOUGH heat
If your furnace is pushing out heat, but you feel it is not producing as much heat as you're used to or normally feel then first check your filters. If filters are not clean you may need to replace them. In any case where changing the filters does not help, it is possible your gas burners need adjustments and we are able to take care of those repairs.
Furnace cycles ON and OFF frequently
When your furnace frequently switches ON and OFF, this is called short cycling. Short cycling is usually caused by a furnace that may be too big for your space. It has to use a lot of energy and can cause uneven distribution of air. This cause the furnace to switch on and off to overcompensate. Short cycling can also be cause by the furnace overheating. The furnace will turn itself off to prevent damage. This can be from restricted air flow, blocked vents and dirty filters. If these issues occur it is important to contact us for repairs. It is important to prevent premature breakdown.
Blower fan is constantly running
